BTW, I haven't heard any Republicans express hatred of Musk.  Isn't that an odd coincidence?

Nobody really hated the guy until he got into politics.  People thought he was overrated, but they didn't hate him. 

Speaking of scaring people away from electric cars, there is a bill advancing in the Florida legislature which would allow towing companies to triple the rate they charge to electric cars as compared to gas cars. In the previous session, they made a law that overturned any county or city ordinance that might have required a charging station at a new development. 

So yes there are definitely Republicans that hate electric cars.

LOL.  You're just digging yourself in deeper, trying to defend an indefensible claim.

Nobody hated him before he got into politics.
Then he became a friend and supporter of Trump.
He was appointed to run DOGE, fulfilling one of Trump's primary campaign promises.
Now people hate him, but they're not Democrats???  Again, where have Republicans verbalized their hate?

A bill "advancing in the Florida Legislature" = Republicans hate electric cars?  That's a stretch, even for you.

P.S.  Providing a link to the source of your claimed "information", might lend your argument somewhat more credibility.
